Laylat al-Jaiza

Laylat al-Jaiza or Night of Rewards is the night preceding both the Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. It has particular significance with the month of Ramadan and is to earn rewards for all the fasts and good deeds in this month. It is considered as a blessed night for Muslims and a night to offer prayers and supplications.[1][2]
Prophet Muhammad is reported to have said in a hadith in Sunan ibn Maja.[3]

Whoever stands up (in worship) in the nights preceding the two Eids expecting rewards from his Lord, his heart will not die when the other hearts will die.
